CC Renewal - 15 card submission grades

BigMK · August 6, 2017 12:45PM

Hello Guys,

Here are the grades for my club membership renewal. This is the first order I've subbed in a while, and decided to do it Canadian style with all O-Pee-Chee. I enjoy collecting 80's OPC Hockey as that era was a great time for the sport and I believe there is a bunch of potential for the key cards from those sets. I am very pleased with the grades, always nice to get a couple 10's and happy to get a 9 for the Ray Bourque rookie. I will post some pics shortly.

I snapped these pics with my camera, hope they come out ok. I want to get myself a nice scanner, I see some of the pics you guys post and they look so crisp compared to mine.

Very nice grades and cards. As far as potential, I hope you are right, but there are many, many uncut sheets still out there, especially from 80-81 and 81-82 opc hockey. I believe 81-82 had like 40 mint sheets auctioned off five years ago. Many are finding their way into holders and getting high grades. POP's have risen a lot in the last five years, and with many sheets still remaining, I'm sure we'll see more 9's and 10's in the future.

When I look at the pops for some of the key RC of 1980's Hockey such as Lemieux, Messier, Bourque, Coffey, Francis, Gilmour, Hawerchuk, Kurri (all of whom are in the top 20 NHL all time scoring), they have much lower pops for the key cards of the other sports of that time. Based on that, I think its a good investment. I think the main issue is hockey in general does not get the same respect/interest of the other sports.
